Raw materials and production
One of the most important tasks that the team has to solve in its daily activities is the improvement of production technologies.

Thoughtful technology down to the smallest detail allows you to preserve the original taste of coffee
Characteristic is the fact that “Tudey” is produced using new technologies, but with strict adherence to German high quality criteria. The organizer of this business is confident that great drinks give people moments of pleasure while saving time.
New cooking technology makes it possible to preserve healthy and natural qualities and a specific aroma. The technological process includes careful selection of green fruits, which are then fried in a hot oven. After roasting, the grains are kept in order to rid them of carbon dioxide released during the working process.
Coffee concentrate is made from roasted beans
The next production step is grinding the grains and boiling the mixture for two hours in an airtight container. The resulting concentrate must be frozen and then crushed into pellets. Finally, drying is carried out in a vacuum. Transformation of grains preserves the bright aroma, excellent taste and usefulness of the components. Of course, energy costs for manufacturing products are included in the cost of the product.

Coffee is a type of plant that responds to light, moisture in the nutrient layer of the earth, the composition of the soil, and neighboring plants.

Indian beans are bitter and spicy in taste, coffee trees from Yemen bear fruits with a chocolate tint, even sometimes with a wine aroma. The raw material grown in Cuba has a strong aroma.
